Deserted Hubby

I feel kind of bad right now for deserting Cam so much lately. Good thing he has Tia & Maisy to keep him company. This last Monday, I got invited to watch the GU Women's bball team play UCLA. The game was awesome, they won, and Courtney Vandersloot broke an NCAA record. This last weekend I got invited to watch them play at the Spokane Arena in the Sweet Sixteen against Louisville. Our seats were awesome and the crowd was crazy. They won and for the first time ever will get to play in the Elite 8 against Stanford on Monday. Guess who gets to go and watch them play? Me! I do!

Tonight I am going to watch the 9 to 5 musical with Tom & Mags. Hence, I am never home and Cam has been deserted. I will mention that he had a chance to get the Broadway musical season pass with us and he said no. I don't think that Legally Blonde the musical sounded too fun for him. :)

Yesterday I was home for most of the day so Cam started to teach me how to ride Roxy. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be! Granted I only practiced in first gear, but I was going up and down our street. I probably looked ridiculous, but it was fun.

This morning we took the girlies to Starbucks for their weekend treat. They are so spoiled, but love going....

The Malcolm girls headed to Sbux

Tia knows exactly where she is going, smart girl!

Maisy is pretty excited

Yummy!

Making sure every lost lick is gone

Roxy

Cam finally talked me into taking my motorcycle endorsement class. At first I couldn't believe I had signed up and almost called to cancel. In the end I decided that it could be fun and something that we could do together this summer. I am taking the class May 6th, 7th, & 8th. I am a little nervous, but I am in a class that is just for the girls. Should be fun and maybe not as stressful.

We went and looked at bikes last week. Cam kind of had an idea of what I might like and he was pretty much right! I didn't want anything too big and I liked the color silver. After looking at bikes around town he went on Craigslist and find the exact bike that I liked at a really good deal. The only bad thing was that it was in Grand Coulee. We both had never been there before so we trekked off after work on Tuesday to go and look at the bike. The drive was interesting and a bit longer that I thought it would be. Grand Coulee and Electric City were very interesting. I don't know why or how anybody could live there. The bike ended up being perfect so we bought it. Here is Roxy the Rebel!




Cam is going to sale his bike (hopefully this weekend) and then buy a road bike like mine. Should be a fun summer!

New Furniture

I know these 2 photos are a long time in coming, but better late than never! Here is what our new living room additions look like. I love the hutch, the top pulls out into a buffet. The plant is new also, her name is Patty.

Weekend Fun

It was a little sad that technically our weekend was an hour shorter because of DST. On Friday we went to Qdoba for dinner (shocking since we go there EVERY weekend) and then we had a drink at Press. After that we went shopping (Costco, Mall, & Target). Paydays are always the greatest. :)

On Saturday Cam headed downtown to partake in all of the St. Patty's day festivities while I was at the gym burning those calories. I had class at 7am and then I stayed and worked out for another 90 minutes. I was tired when I was done.

When I got home I took the girls with me to Starbucks to get a puppy treat, and to get a treat for myself. I haven't had a latte for over 3 weeks so it was just a tea for me and whip cream for them. Their treat looked better than mine. Haha. I don't think that it is fair for Starbucks to have such wonderful new treats right now when I am trying to lose weight. They have cake pops and Red Velvet whoopie pie. I wanted one of each! After we got our treats we cleaned house and then went for a walk waiting for Cam to get home. After Cam got home we went to the motorcycle show at the fairgrounds. It was a lot of fun. Lots of cool bikes to look at and very interesting people watching opportunities. There were a couple of bikes that Cam really liked.

Saturday night was Fro-Yo night! Yum! After that we went to the movies and saw "The Adjustment Bureau". We both agreed that it was one of the better movies that we had seen in a long time. I highly recommend watching it.

Sunday is my sleep in day with the girls. It is the only day of the week that I get to wake up whenever I want. We got up about 8:30 and made breakfast and then I went running. The weather was perfect! I don't want to jinx it or anything, but it really is starting to look and feel like spring.

Lazy Saturday

I love Saturdays. I get up, go workout, shop for groceries, clean the house, and finish my laundry all before lunch. Now I get to relax with my girls, a cup of tea and my book. Cam built a fire earlier and our living room so warm and cozy right now. I love it.

Tonight we are going to FroYo with Paul & Brenda. I'm looking forward to a treat since I have been working so hard. It will be nice to do some catching up too.

Cam is busy working on our rental property today. The tenants just moved out so now we have to get it all clean before we can show it tomorrow to potential renters. I went to the house for the first time last night since I moved out in May 2008. It was a little bitter sweet. It was the first big purchase I have ever made and was my house until Cam and I got married. Cam got a ton of inquiries on the house over the last couple of weeks so hopefully we can find some good renters.

Searching for spring.....

Just when I thought that spring was almost here, it starts snowing again. I know that it is still February, but really?! I am tired of it being cold in our house and I am tired of having to wear huge jackets and scarves everywhere. It just feels nice to be able to go outside without having to be all bundled up.

I am looking forward to possibly planting a small garden this spring. I say possibly because I don't know where I would put one and I don't know if I want to deal with the hassle of the upkeep. Of course Cam wants one, but he isn't going to be eating any veggies from it and I am sure he won't be helping me pull any weeds.......
